A Gearless Future
Our CEO Bernt Øivind Børnich lays out 1X’s vision for gearless mechanics to enable safe, balanced, and smart androids for all.
Your intelligent humanoid assistant, currently in development. NEO is designed for the home and can interact with your world in a way that feels familiar to help you unlock more out of life.
EVE’s experience is the foundation for NEO’s learning, helping NEO to better support you at home.
Our CEO Bernt Øivind Børnich lays out 1X’s vision for gearless mechanics to enable safe, balanced, and smart androids for all.
NEO is designed and trained in The Studio to understand both natural language and physical space with a combination of robotics and artificial intelligence. NEO builds on years of EVE’s real world experience. That means a task like “move that box” makes future tasks like “move that pallet” even easier.
Humanoids are robots with a human-like appearance. They’re designed to look like people and mimic our actions in order to navigate our world: 1X’s humanoids can pick up common objects in your household or office, fit through regular doors, and integrate seamlessly into the built world to support and empower people.
If you look at the modern world, everything is made for us, from how we walk to how we work. So in order to create robots that interface with our world effectively, the human shape is the most efficient form. It's much easier for people to teach humanoids to navigate our built environment and develop intelligent behaviors, rather than changing our environment to suit the needs of robots.
We envision a world where humanoids use their smart behavior to autonomously support our world, filling roles that are unsafe or unmet by the human labor force. 1X is starting off with roles like warehouse logistics and guarding as first applications of EVE, and then we plan to grow toward our broader vision of applications like assisted living.
Every task we train our humanoids to perform gets us closer to expanding the use of safe, intelligent, and scalable general purpose humanoids.
By learning through expert demonstrations by our operators and natural language commands, our humanoids will intelligently string together the actions they need to take to solve problems or accomplish tasks. As we we explore, test, learn, and iterate, 1X robots will get continually more efficient, setting new standards for android performance in a wide array of uses.
